  • 12 oz trimmed fresh green beans
  • 8 oz trimmed asparagus
  • 1 red chili (or jalapeño) pepper
  • 3 oz shallots
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 0.5 oz fresh dill, divided
  • 0.5 oz fresh chives, divided
  • 1 lemon, for zest/juice
  • 1 oz feta cheese
  • ¾ teaspoon Greek seasoning, divided
  • 12 oz peeled/deveined extra-large shrimp, tails off
  • 6 oz fresh peas
  • 3 tablespoons lemon vinaigrette
  • 5 tablespoons whole milk plain Greek yogurt

Steps

    1. Bring water to a boil in large saucepan. Cut cucumber in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds. Grate cucumber, place in colander, and squeeze out juice; set aside. Slice green beans and asparagus thinly at a diagonal. Remove membranes and seeds from chili if desired; chop chili, shallots, and garlic finely. Chop dill and chives finely (4 tablespoons each). Zest lemon (1 teaspoon), then juice (2 tablespoons). Crumble cheese.
    2. Combine in bowl: lemon juice, lemon zest, red chili, and ¼ teaspoon seasoning. Add shrimp to boiling water and remove pan from heat; cook 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously, until shrimp are pink and opaque. Drain shrimp well and spread in single layer on baking sheet; pour lemon mixture over shrimp, stir to coat, and chill 15 minutes. Cook peas following package instructions, then chill until cold.
    3. Combine in large bowl: cucumber, yogurt, vinaigrette, garlic, pepper, 3 tablespoons each chives and dill, and remaining ½ teaspoon seasoning.
    4. Add to bowl with yogurt mixture: beans, asparagus, peas, and shallots; stir to coat. Place salad on serving platter. Top with shrimp, lemon mixture, cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon each dill and chives. Serve.
    Chef's Tip: Dress the salad, toss the shrimp in the lemon-chili mixture, and chill up to 1 hour before serving for deeper flavor.
